Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Hand Sewn Slippers Flannel-Lined

The lining wore out within several weeks and the inside foam decentigrated causing an uncomfortable mess. The rest of the product quality was good but the lining was definitely not well conceived. Quality not what I expect from LlBean brand.Setterman

Not comfortable at all. All the slippers I have bought in the past fit great. These are very tight and stiff. I wear 9 1/2 M shoe and I bought 10 slipper as in the past. I am hoping they will loosen up after some wear. Should have returned them

I was disappointed in the version of this slipper, having owned a pair of the previous version (smaller rubber sole with leather sides vice encompassing rubber sole and partial leather bottom inside of shoe surrounded by felt) for over ten years and absolutely loving them. I was disappointed in the new version, where the felt in the heel has deteriorated after almost a year (Christmas present) -- to the point where you see this white cotton materials. The felt lining was very thin (and apparently inferior) materials and did not live up to the LLBean quality that I have known for many years (having had the previous felt-lined pair for a decade). Also because the rubber sole wraps up around the side (toward the top) of the slipper it rubs on the side of your feet causing soreness --i.e. width is too narrow for medium width. Would not recommend given the price and poor materials. Also, who keeps their receipts from Christmas a year ago for their "guarantee?"

The flannel lining wears out too quickly. There are several complaints about this. Sadly this continues without resolve.

Bought these slippers as a replacement pair for my husband. They wore out on the inside within 6 months. The outside soles were fine but the flannel lining did not hold up. I have been buying slippers from ll bean for years but these were not worth the money. To make matters worse, ll bean refused to replace them because they said it was "normal wear and tear". They used to be a great company but with their new warranty and their overpriced products, I will take my business elsewhere. Don't waste your money.

I have purchased dozens of these mocs over several years with no major issues. However, the last two pairs this year are just terrible. The same size as in the past is now larger and the inside rubs my foot to the point it bleeds. Something has changed (i.e. manufacturer) because its now a product I will never purchase again.

I have been buying these slippers for my husband & boys for years. I've been trying to get a pair for my husband I just ordered the 3rd. pair & still not happy. They are different sizes either too wide or too long they don't match.This has been very disappointing. Hopefully you can get someone to make them the way they use to....

I have probably bought a half dozen of the L.L. Bean slippers. Although the slipper itself holds up well the flannel lining wears out very quickly, which creates unsightly worn holes on the inside of the slippers. If the slippers were made with a more durable lining the slippers would last for more than 4 months; which would make them a reasonable buy; however, I for one am tired of having to buy a new pair of slippers every 4-5 months, just because of the poor quality of the lining. I have bought my LAST pair slippers from L.L. Bean!

Bought these slippers for my husband for Christmas and now just 5 months latter the flannel lining is shredding on both slippers. Could of received longer lasting slipper for a lot less. Have always liked LLB for the quality but know I have to wonder.

these are actually womens size width B not D. wasted $13 bucks to find this out. if you a man with normal mens foot do not buy: a scam. bought size 10 and sent back. bought size 11 and still too narrow and short. made for chinese women.; I have worn size 10 for 60 years.

I purchased these slippers for myself right after Christmas 2017. Initially, I was very satisfied with them; they fit perfectly, were warm, and very comfortable. But within two (2) months of receiving the slippers the flannel lining in both heels had worn through, exposing the white cushion material underneath. Sadly, I will be returning the slippers, and will not be ordering another pair, since there is nothing to indicate the same thing won't happen again.

I have been a customer for 25+ years. Like the T-shirts and Polos I purchased before the "new" replacements are much poorer quality. These slippers are no exception. The ones I had for 9 years were soft leather. These new ones are hard leather and the left/right sides are almost identical with no angle for left/right side.

For all the things I've read about LLBean quality, I'm super disappointed. These didn't even measure up to something from Walmart. I bought these for my husband for Christmas last year, and within two months, they were completely worn out (holes on the bottom, etc.). So now I have to buy him a new pair for Christmas this year. By the way, I spent half the money on my own slippers last year from Land's End (including monogramming!), and they're in great condition!

I had a pair of flannel-lined handsewn slippers purchased about 5 years ago, and they were very comfortable, but wore out. My wife gave me a new pair for Christmas 2015. The new ones were not made like the old comfortable ones. They are much more narrow, have a foam lining and strange rubber sole. The new ones are much more tight on my feet that the old ones when new, so I purchased a shoe stretcher and have tried to stretch them a number of times. They do stretch, but it lasts only a few hours, then they revert to their old tight shape. They make my feet hurt. I have wide feet and normally wear a EE width, and also did when I had the previous pair, but they naturally stretched to fit my feet. These new ones will not stay stretched for anything. Why, LL Bean do you insist on trying to improve on a good produce, then end up with an inferior produce? This is not the first time. Wish I had my old comfortable slippers back!

Purchased slippers @ the end of Nov. '16. Slippers never stay tied, causing tripping issues. Inside flannel has already worn thru in some spots on both slippers.

Received as a gift, in my usual size (8-D) ; they are not stretching to fit despite daily wear for 2 1/2 months; uncomfortable to wear and are still a pain to put on; ("slippers" as in for "slipping" onto your feet, right? these, not so much. I never used a shoe horn to put on slippers before) I even purchased a shoe stretcher to try to make them fit, still too tight in the toes. ouch.

This revises my previous review. These may be quality made slippers but they are sized incorrectly. They are too narrow. I returned them and purchased a pair of the Wicked Good slippers which I have owned and knew they fit properly. Although they are incorrectly sized by LL Bean, I was charged $6.50 for the return. After 50+ years of shopping at LL Bean, I am through. This is not the LL Bean I grew up with.

I have never had a bad experience with LL Bean products until these slippers. They completely fell apart within 10 months... the flannel tore and the foam disintegrated. When I called customer service they said they don't make the model anymore.

The lining wore out after one year of light usage. Previous pair lasted many years. Barely wide enough for a D width, and had to re-order two sizes larger to fit.

i really dont know how anyone with normal feet could fit these. i am 11, bought 11, and they were narrow and at least a full size too small. did not reorder in a 12 , b/c they are so tight.

I ordered my normal shoe size - a 10 - and these slippers, while well made, were way too big. They would not stay on my feet. I shipped them back, over two weeks ago, but still have not received a credit. Not pleased...

Had a pair of these I purchased 30 years ago that got me through college, two marriages, and three kids. Finally they gave up the ghost and went to Handsewn Heaven. The replacement pair I've had for maybe three years and they are poor excuses for the originals. Lining is all worn away in the heels of both slippers, a problem that started just a few months after I began wearing them, and I'm finally fed up to the point of returning them. The good reviews I see on here are primarily from people who have not had these slippers for long, and to those folks I say please send them back to Bean when they start to deteriorate. Because they WILL deteriorate, and the only way Bean will ever go back to good quality products is if they absorb the loss of $49.95 often enough.

Within a year the soles such that they are had cracks-holes in them-the flannel is gone in heel areas-as many businesses, Bean has fallen prey to cost containment resulting in poorer quality-lower standards-I shopped Bean almost exclusively in past years but now quality and fit are inconsistent due to import issues. They have always been accommodating and replaced but with same poor quality merchandise. It is a shame as used to be the gold standard-I called and they will replace the slippers but with what??

I purchased the slippers with size 7. But they are bigger than size 7. I can not wear then without socks. Slippers quality is good but there seems to be some issue in the way size is indicated. It is not normal size 7.

I have purchased a pair of these as a gift for my brother-in-law. Several months later I bought a pair for myself. Well on mine the flannel lining and foam underneath near the heal is all worn away after just a few short months. While visiting my brother-in-law recently, I discovered he has the same problem. He claims he has not worn his that much. Would not buy!!
